So will fans really boycott Panthor if he isn't flocked?

I'll get him, but I'll be really disappointed if he's not flocked. How much sense does it make for them to base the flock/don't flock decision on the attendees of a panel at the con? Were there that many people in the room??? I thought everyone wanted him flocked anyway.

I won't boycott Panthor just because he has no flocking... I'll be disappointed, but I'm going to get him anyway. I think the only way I'd be angry is if they changed their minds and did a re-release of him flocked, then I'd have something to be upset about. :P

Looks like we might get both versions, but I think non-flocked will be a better figure all things considered. I will love a flocked one too, more for nostalgia value, but this super articulated figure will not really work as well flocked IMO. Mossy looks good, but the joints are difficult to get right without him looking like he need to visit "Advanced Hair".

I'll buy Panthor either way. But I would rather he be flocked. I haven't seen the new Battlecat up close yet, but it seems to me that articulation isn't as important with the beasts. In fact, it could potentially be a big problem. Imagine getting a BC with joints as loose as some of the figures. Won't be much fun if He-Man can't even sit on him because his weight makes BC's legs buckle.

Yeah, I keep wondering exactly how many poses you can put the cats in that would make articulation so important that it prevents flocking. I mean, what can you have Battle Cat and Panthor doing besides standing up and carrying Skeletor and He-Man that won't look silly or awkward?

my feelings exactly!!

it wont stop me getting him because he is a MUST for me-but yeah if he was rereleased flocked Id be furious.

I would probably buy an unflocked Panthor if it came out first, but it would mostly be for the fear of missing out entirely if a flocked version never got produced. Battlecat need an arch-enemy to tangle with.

But let me be clear; I would prefer a SHORT-flocked Panthor given a choice. More like fuzzy purple stubble than a loose, wavy fur.

I'd be surprised if we had a choice in the matter after all the issues about Mossman. Sometimes it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission, right?

Release him unflocked if they have to, in vintage style armor. Then, down the line, flocked in 200X style armor. Or vice-versa.

Nope will buy him cause I want Panthor. I want him non flocked. Will look 100 times better non flocked.

I"m going to skip him and wait for the flocked version. Theres no point in having two and he isnt so essential that I cant wait for the second version. Hopefully enough people buy him so that he is a rapid sellout and they can go ahead with the flocked version asap.

The original Panthor was flocked... Since the trend is to make the figures like the originals, I'm sure he will be flocked. If Mattel starts to deviate from the trend for example, a 200X style Prince Adam, I will drop this line all together.

I have everything else in MOTUC, so it's hard to say I will boycott. However, I reserve judgement until I see him. The original was flocked, I think the classics version should be flocked. It is hard to say I will spend $30.00 on a battle cat repaint. We will have to see...
